Introducing unique monolayer graphene particles to coatings, adhesives, and plastics manufacturers

Coatings, adhesives, and plastics manufacturers are invited to discover the groundbreaking performance advantages offered by Nanotech Energy’s monolayer graphene oxide and graphene nanoparticles at two major trade shows in the coming weeks.

Senior Nanotech Energy representatives will be displaying samples and holding conversations at the American Coatings Show (April 30-May 2, Indiana Convention Center, IN) and NPE: The Plastics Show (May 6-10, Orange County Convention Center, FL).

At both events, our representatives will invite discussions about Nanotech Energy’s unique, monolayer nanoparticle graphene oxide and graphene.

Initial findings suggest both materials provide extraordinary performance impacts when harnessed in the right way. Their unique monolayer structure also enables the removal of some fillers as compared to the standard addition of much larger quantities of graphite or multi-layer graphene.

In coatings, such as EMI shielding products, graphene provides enhanced conductivity performance. At the same time, graphene, exhibiting lubricating characteristics,  enhances rheology – with its performance mirrored in conductive inks that are printable for electronics.

Graphene oxide also offers excellent corrosion resistance properties and, in both epoxy and urethane adhesives, it appears to have a significant impact on tensile elongation.

• In an epoxy adhesive, preliminary data shows an increase in tensile strength of 58% at a loading of 0.26% by weight of Nanotech Energy’s Ultra Graphene.
• In a silver ink, conductivity increased by 165% while flow and rheology also improved after a loading of only 0.49% by weight of Nanotech Energy’s  Ultra Graphene.

“Nanoparticle graphene oxide and graphene are two dimensional, lightweight, and stronger than steel,” says Nanotech Energy business development consultant Brenda Alpert. “With these incredible properties, it’s possible to use small amounts and achieve huge benefits.

“These upcoming shows represent a great opportunity for us to reach new potential partners with existing expertise in formulating. Utilizing both graphene oxide and graphene nanoparticles has the potential to transform materials performance parameters across automotive, aerospace, defense, and marine applications. We look forward to meeting many new faces in the days and weeks ahead.”
